乘着风，我走的比云更远 ，比山更高。Riding the wind, I go further than clouds, higher than mountains.

In this study, we analyze both mainstream and social media coverage of the 2016 United States presidential election. We document that the majority of mainstream media coverage was negative for both candidates, but largely followed Donald Trump’s agenda: when reporting on Hillary Clinton, coverage primarily focused on the various scandals related to the Clinton Foundation and emails. When focused on Trump, major substantive issues, primarily immigration, were prominent. Indeed, immigration emerged as a central issue in the campaign and served as a defining issue for the Trump campaign.

About me

I am a researcher in the field of computational social science, using online data to question various social issues.

By dumping and parsing Wikipedia datasets in different languages, I apply the methods of data mining and data visualization to explore the collective research project ‘Mapping a World in Wikipedia’ in an interdisciplinary laboratory at the EPFL.

Aside from research work, I am a street photographer and swing dancer.
